I'm gonna write!

I am a happy girl! I get to write again!

I have been working at finding a job. Some jobs I'm applying for make me want to cry, just because well...it's not writing, and I am a writer. I have to pay the bills, though, so I'm willing to look other places.

If I've discovered anything through all of this, it's that I really do want to write. It's not even just something I want to do. It's who I am. It's what makes me happy. (Is this a surprise to anyone? LOL) I think my unhappiness at my former job rose in direct proportion to the amount of non-writing related responsibilites I was given.

So guess what? They're going to let me write again! Not as an employee, but as a freelancer. And I'm really excited about it. There was a point shortly after the layoff that the idea of writing made me break out in hives. Now I feel "important" again. LOL

I can't tell you how great it feels to sit down and plan out a story again, the kinds of stories I want to write. It's like....maybe it feels like a fish who's been out of water a little too long and just jumped back in. Maybe. I don't really know how a fish out of water feels. But I do know this feels pretty darned good.

And ya'll...I'm back in the Today's Home rotation!! And I get to do Your Life fronts! It has been too long since I've gotten to do a Your Life front. I just didn't have time. I'm going to check into other freelance opportunities around town, too. In a tough job market, it just may make more sense to get paid by the job. Provided I can find enough jobs.

So on that note, know anybody who needs a writer? No, seriously...and I don't just mean newspapers or magazines. I'll happily write anything from a business letter to resumes to ... well, what do you need written?   :)
